The Road to Hell, Pt. 1 & 2 |
Stood still on a highway |
I saw a woman |
By the side of the road |
With a face that I knew like my own |
Reflected in my window |
Well she walked up to my quarterlight |
And she bent down real slow |
A fearful pressure paralysed me |
In my shadow |
She said «Son, what are you doing here? |
My fear for you has turned me in my grave» |
I said «Mama, I come to the valley of the rich |
Myself to sell» |
She said «Son, this is the road to Hell» |
On your journey 'cross the wilderness |
From the desert to the well |
You have strayed upon the motorway to Hell |
Well I’m standing by the river |
But the water doesn’t flow |
It boils with every poison you can think of |
And I’m underneath the streetlight |
But the light of joy I know |
Scared beyond belief way down in the shadows |
And the perverted fear of violence |
Chokes the smile on every face |
And common sense is ringing out the bell |
This ain’t no technological breakdown |
Oh no, this is the road to hell |
And all the roads jam up with credit |
And there’s nothing you can do |
It’s all just bits of paper flying away from you |
Oh look out world, take a good look what comes down here |
You must learn this lesson fast and learn it well |
This ain’t no upwardly mobile freeway |
Oh no, this is the road |
Said this is the road |
This is the road to hell |
